How to apply

Working for GNM can offer you an exciting and challenging environment in which to develop your career. As a company we place real value on training and development, encouraging staff to achieve their full potential and excel in their chosen field.

Development and training

One of the most common questions we are asked by applicants in interviews is "What kind of training and development opportunities will be available to me if I join the company?" The answer in short is a wide variety.

You\'ll begin with an induction. The first week or two will be spent getting to know the organisation. You\'ll meet a large selection of the people with whom you will work on a daily basis and be shown round all the relevant sites so you can get more of a feel for what\'s involved in producing two national newspapers, a website and several other award winning products.

It\'s also at this early stage that you\'ll attend any job specific training. This will come in the form of either formal training events - particularly true if you are working in our advertising sales function - or less formal one-to-one coaching with one of the more experienced members of your team.

In addition to the induction scheme, we run a number of internal training courses covering a range of key communication and business skills including assertiveness, project management, negotiation, influencing and management at all levels. More specialised courses are available from external providers.

We are committed to providing the most effective possible solutions to all learning and development needs. In the instances where training does not satisfy a specific need, we are equipped to provide bespoke individual coaching, team-building or psychometric assessment activities to help individuals and teams flourish.

Rewards and benefits

GNM offers staff a range of benefits in addition to our competitive salaries. These vary according to your employment contract but are summarised below for your information:

• Pension (contributory)
• Life Assurance
• Insurance
• Private healthcare
• Holidays in excess of statutory minimum
• Annual bonus payments
• Employee Assistance Programme

Our generous company policies include provision for maternity leave, parental leave and paternity leave that are in excess of statutory minimum. A cash child-care allowance is also available for many staff.

In addition to these company-provided benefits, various discounts from local businesses are available to company staff, including restaurants, gyms and retail outlets.
